Sumario:Electronic products are becoming an essential part of our daily life. There is a huge demand to produce small and portable but powerful electronic products. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have excellent electrical, mechanical and thermal properties which can be exploited to build next-generation electronics. This paper reviews different types and properties of CNTs and also presents the CNT-based electronics along with their advantage over the conventionally used products. CNT usage in electronics, such as biosensing, energy and data storage devices, is discussed. CNT-based field emission devices, which showed outstanding results are also discussed. The current challenges of CNT-based electronics and the future of CNT in electronics applications are mentioned. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT: [Image: see text]
